Finally got the Broken Bolts out of the Track Frame

[wwattson]

Well, sharing my love for 1010 crawlers like my friend Lavoy, I've been off and on fighting getting the four broken off bolts for about as long as I've had the machine apart. I'm not smarter than a 1010 but I'm quite a bit meaner than most of them.

There is a saying that there were few social problem that a couple of pounds of strategically placed C-4 can't solve. As it turns out, there's not much that a Bridgeport mill an a new solid carbide end mill won't cut out of a 1010 track frame.



Die Stupid Bolts!!!

Bill , A Bridgeport would be right handy for that
I have seen stranger stuff set up in them around here . I have been thinking of buying a Bridgeport for some time now , and since buying the 420 , it has became more then thinking . Machine shop rates going up and the machinist I use being busier than a cat burying s&it on a hot tin roof , one might magically appear in the shop to keep the lathe and my surface grinder company . . After all I will have the RPC built by the end of the month . Dan
